Trump Tweets Iowa Residents are Brain Dead for Supporting Carson Over Him

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson has taken over the frontrunner position in Iowa, according to the latest Quinnipiac poll. Trump obviously isn’t happy about it, and retweeted a quote of someone questioning the mental capacity of Iowa Republicans.

This latest poll marks the first time that Trump wasn’t in the lead in Iowa, which has to be a tremendous shock to the real estate mogul’s mountain-sized ego. Trump deleted the tweet, which insinuated the Iowans have brain “issues,” and blamed it on an intern.
